Topics covered include what genre can and can't do, the difference between Best Writing and Most Writing, and concealing setups as payoffs.

Still here and alive with some writing advice for you: You'll always be afraid to write.
Write those fears down.
Then write on your project anyway. You can't fix what you haven't built.

I am writing our main character in the game: the Diplomat.
She is a political envoy who takes on her own journey to discover the untold stories in the Arctic.
💡What should I play / read / watch / as inspiration & references?

Hi, everybody!

Guess I’ll fire off an intro…

The name’s Cory Lanham. Your friendly neighborhood #gamewriter. For the past 8 or so years, I was writing for Ready At Dawn until Meta shut down the studio back in August. Before that, I worked for Wargaming, Yager, and Day 1 Studios.

Alright, let's talk plot twists in games. Games where the writers/narrative team delivered a gut punch you did not see coming?

If you don't want to spoil it, just give the name of the game so I (and others) can check it out.

Creating an Empathy Driven Narrative in a Deeply Unempathetic Time

What are the best-written bad guys in games? It can be their backstory, their dialogue, their brilliance, their sense of humour, breath-taking cruelty, maybe their cause is right, whatever, the criteria is up to you.

Writer/narrative heads, what do you like to see in a writer/narrative applicant's portfolio? What's something that has really made a person stand out? What are some Do's and Don'ts we should be aware of? Do you take bribes, and if so, are they mainly cheese-based?

Nothing more alarming than accidentally hitting caps lock while writing dialogue and suddenly your character is yelling at the player. #gamenarrative #narrativedesign

Reframing “I”, “You” and “They” as the Writer

Not sure if this one fits with what you are going for. Game writing has a strong overlap with trad pubbed and indie authors. Game Writing is also an award category now for the Nebulas.

Hey pro game writers/narrative devs, what did you have in your portfolio that you felt really clenched the deal for you when you were on the hunt for a job? #GameNarrative&Writing

Anyone else do this thing where they watch a pre-alpha demo of a game and you start coming up with dialogue to match what's happening on screen?
